How do we evaluate definite integrals ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 where the substitution
technique may be applied?
Let us first recall how a substitution is done. Consider the indefinite integral
∫(𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥.

Integration by Substitution
1. Let 𝑢 or 𝑦 be some functions of 𝑥 (usually one that appears in the integrand).
2. Solve for 𝑥 and 𝑑𝑥 in terms of 𝑢 and 𝑑𝑢.
3. Convert the entire integral to 𝑢-variable form and try to fit it to one (or more) of
the basic integration formulas. If none seems to fit, consider trying a different
substitution.
4. After integrating, rewrite the antiderivatives as a function of 𝑥.

is It
Method 1
We first consider the definite integral as an indefinite integral and apply the
substitution technique. The answer (antiderivative of the function) is expressed in
terms of original variable and the FTOC is applied using the limits of integration
𝑥 = 𝑎 and 𝑥 = 𝑏.
3
To illustrate, to integrate ∫1 (𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥, we first apply the substitution
technique to the indefinite integral using substitution 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 2 or 𝑢 = 𝑥 − 2 and
express the antiderivatives in terms of 𝑥 :
1
∫(𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥 = (𝑥 − 2)55 + 𝐶
55
6
We apply the FTOC using the original limits of integration 𝑥 = 1 and 𝑥 =
3 so we have
upper limit (b): = (𝑥 − 2) = 3 − 2 = 1
lower limit (a): = (𝑥 − 2) = 1 − 2 = −1

1 1
= 55 + 55
2
= 55
Note that for definite integrals, we can omit the constant of integration C in the
antiderivative since this will cancel when we evaluate at the limits of integration.
Method 2
In this method, the substitution is applied directly to the definite integral
and the limits or bound of integration are also changed according to the
substitution applied. If the substitution 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥) is applied, then
limits of integration 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 = 𝑏 are changed to 𝑓(𝑎)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓(𝑏), respectively.
The FTOC is then applied to the definite integral where the integral is the function
of 𝑦 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 and using the new limits of integration 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑎) and 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑏).
7
We then apply FTOC to the definite integrable involving the new variable
𝑢 yielding:

This alternative solution pays special attention to the bounds of integration
in performing a substitution. The two methods, of course, give the same result.
Let us summarize:
In the second method, we proceed with the substitution as above and the
new bounds are computed through the same equation used to perform the
substitution. Thus, if 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥), then the new bounds are
𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑎) and 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑏)
and the definite integral is now expressed as
𝑏 𝑓(𝑏)
∫ (𝑓(𝑥))𝑓 ′ (𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑓(𝑢) 𝑑𝑦.

Method 2. Let 𝑢 = 2𝑥 − 1, and so 𝑑𝑢 = 2 𝑑𝑥. Hence, 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑑𝑢. The bounds
2
are then transformed as follows:
If 𝑥 = 0, then
𝑢 = 2(0) − 1 = −1
If 𝑥 = 2, then
𝑢 = 2(2) − 1 = 3

Example 2: Compute ∫−2 √2 − 7𝑥 𝑑𝑥.

Solution: Let 𝑦 = 2 − 7𝑥. It follows that 𝑑𝑦 = −7 𝑑𝑥 or 𝑑𝑥 = − 7 𝑑𝑦. For the
transformed bounds:
If 𝑥 = −2, then
𝑦 = 2 − 7(−2) = 16
If 𝑥 = −1, then
𝑦 = 2 − 7(−1) = 9
The substitution yields the transformed definite integral

Solution. Notice that if we let 𝑦 = 30 − 𝑥 3⁄2 , then we have 𝑑𝑦 = − 2 𝑥 1⁄2 𝑑𝑥 so
2
that − 3 𝑑𝑦 = √𝑥 𝑑𝑥, which is the numerator of the integrand. Converting the

Solution. Let 𝑦 = sin 2𝑥. Differentiating both sides we have, 𝑑𝑦 = 2 cos 2𝑥 𝑑𝑥

and cos 2𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = . Now, when 𝑥 = 0 it implies that 𝑦 = sin 0 = 0 and when

Example 7. Evaluate ∫−1 𝑥 2 𝑒 𝑥 +1 𝑑𝑥
Solution. Recall that 𝐷𝑡 (𝑒 𝑡 ) = 𝑒 𝑡 , and therefore ∫ 𝑒 𝑡 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑒 𝑡 + 𝐶. In other words,
the derivative and antiderivative of the exponential are both the exponential itself.

Now, let 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 1. Then 𝑑𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥, so that 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = 3 𝑑𝑦.
If 𝑥 = −1, then 𝑦 = 0. If 𝑥 = 0, then 𝑦 = 1. Hence,

Example 9. Evaluate the definite integral ∫3 𝑥√𝑥 − 3 𝑑𝑥 .
Solution.
Note that, if we use 𝑢 = 𝑥 − 3 we can get 𝑑𝑢 = 𝑑𝑥 which is not found in the
integrand, with this we can use another way of substitution.
We let 𝑢 = √𝑥 − 3 , we have
𝑢2 = 𝑥 − 3
𝑥 = 𝑢2 + 3
𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑢 𝑑𝑢
And the new upper and lower limits of integration are as follows.
When 𝑥 = 7, 𝑢 = √7 − 3 = 2 (upper limit)
When 𝑥 = 3, 𝑢 = √3 − 3 = 0 (lower limit)

and 𝑑𝑢 = (3)__________.
In first method that was discussed, we first consider the definite integral as an indefinite integral
and apply the substitution technique. The answer (antiderivative of the function) is expressed
in terms of original variable and the (4)_________________________ is applied using the
limits of integration 𝑥 = 𝑎 and 𝑥 = 𝑏.
In second method, the substitution is applied directly to the definite integral and the limits or
bound of integration are also changed according to the substitution applied. If the substitution
𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥) is applied, then limits of integration 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 = 𝑏 are changed to
(5)__________𝑎𝑛𝑑 (6)____________, respectively. The FTOC is then applied to the definite
integral where the integral is the function of 𝑦 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 and using the new limits of integration 𝑢 =
𝑓(𝑎) and 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑏).
